Nice try, but no one owns Trump a fucking dime. Some charity is owed 5 mil. But then Trump’s favourite charity is Trump.

– ramen noodles (almost all of them use palm oil, because it’s cheap and saturated; the ones that don’t are mostly non-fried ramen or sometimes canola.)
– “no-stir” peanut butter (most of that uses palm oil, though some uses other oils.)
– Nutella (sigh… some of its competitors use other oils.)
– Girl Scout cookies

There is responsibly harvested palm oil, mostly from Africa, but the Asian market.

eg “did you just trump?”
Just thought I’d add that to the discussion.

also, if Maher offered to donate $5 million to the charity of Trump’s choice then Trump doesn’t get to say: ” I accepted his offer and he owes me $ 5 million dollars which I am going to give to charity”
All he should be able to do is to tell Maher the address/name/banking details of the charity and Maher donates the money – after determining it’s not just a secret slush fund for quarter orangutan/humanish hybrids.

In fact it seems likely to me that given the wording Maher used it is still Maher that can deduct the money from his taxes.
